“Being a mom is the most important thing in my life. Working with a smaller, family focused company like Rogers Healy and Associates, allows me to combine my two loves. Being a full time mom and a full time realtor while helping people change their lives! It is a true joy to wake up everyday and know that I get to help people and still have time for my son’s soccer games.”
